Love the thinking of sos but hate the pick. Hately was the man worth the punt bugger

 

[GPW1]

This is the sort of move that can get a list manager fired...



Or a job for life.

 

[Blue Viking]

Could be the most infamous trade in recent memory if (and yes, it's an 'if') we finish last, and there proves to be a clear stand-out number one pick in 2019. Conversely, if we surprise and are competitive, and the Crows battle a bit... then this repays nicely. Then there's how Stocker himself fares... so many variables!

Could be genius-level stuff, could backfire, we won't know for years, most likely... but so, so ballsy. Wowsers!

This is SOS using his bitches to maximum effect yet again. Crows are a rabble and it's going to be fun death riding them all year. Imagine the situation when they implode to the extent that we end up higher up the ladder and they have effectively then traded out 19 for a negative result in the draft next year. F*** me I'd laugh and laugh.

Stocker + ? v ?

No doubt it will be tracked for years to come.

If Carlton finish bottom 3, and Adelaide have a good year, we could be massively kicking ourselves.

How do you rate Stocker?

 

[bigm386]

I am happy that the club are backing themselves not to finish last again. This move could be really good or really bad.

But it takes balls. I am fine with that.

 

[rog1995]

I'm still confused but what it tells me, is that we're focused.

This selection won't keep us out from our 2019 needs. Bold. Really bold.

Can't get my head around it just yet, but i shouldn't have to. Someone else has already done that for us.

Knighmare had him going to Richmond at 20.
Liam Stocker (VIC)
Height, Weight: 183cm, 83kg
Summary Profile: Prolific contested ball-winner with clean skills who runs all day. Awarded the Morrish Medal for the TAC Cup's best and fairest.

i just think of what we could potentially have got with our 2019 first at the trade table, and can’t say I don’t have doubts on what just happened.

 

[The Grover]

Happy with this deal, still 2 players for 1.

In the end we wait and see which players are picked with those picks.

 

[rog1995]

Stocker reminds me of Sidebottom

 

[Soapy V]

Walsh & Stocker. Couldn't be happier

Our midfield is now Cripps Kennedy Dow SOS Setterfield Fisher Walsh & Stocker for the next 8 years plus

Bloody Hell

Another great trade/draft period by SOS & Co. BRILLIANT. And it's not over. WOW

I'm excited. Go Blues

 

[Soapy V]

Stocker reminds me of Sidebottom

Skills close but a lot harder

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

If Adelaide just trickle into the finals, we'd have to finish bottom 4 for it to be a loss for us.

We clearly have no intention of hanging onto our first round pick come next trade period.

Great point Jim....if we're chasing a big fish in 2019 and need to offer one (or two) first round picks, I'd rather it was a lower first pick that a higher one.....keeping in mind that * traded pick 9 and a future first for Shiel, we would likely have similar bargaining power

 

[Osc1]

Just be happy we picked up two mids that can win the ball often.

 

[ESKIE]

Stocker reminds me of Sidebottom

Yes please

 

[footyfan1978]

Here I was concerned we had no pick between 1 and 69 and then look on afl site half an hour ago and see our club name for next pick, wtf? ha ha.. love the surprise. Nice bold move getting another pick swapping future first rounder and backing in us improving more than the other club in the deal. another mid, you beauty. Just what I wanted.

 

[rog1995]

Skills close but a lot harder

He has elite hands.

 

[The Smoking Gun]

With all due respect The Smoking Gun.....Better than Setterfield?
Have I any idea now or not?

Not even close in my eyes, but hey......we're all different.

They'll be happy to have someone that appears to be durable and they can get on field HARKER, which is something they couldn't achieve with Setterfield.

Didn't see the Stocker one coming, but wasn't it ****ing awesome to watch SOS see something he likes and then pull the trigger no one saw coming.
Bolts will be much happier that he's got Setterfield, Walsh and Stocker to develop and transition into his midfield.

Reid & SOS have obviously got to know each other pretty well over the last couple of years.

 

[Bostonian]

We get draft asset poorer as each year passes.

 

[rog1995]

Midfield is set..

 

[Fat Kent]

Adelaide aren't as good as people think. Wouldn't come as a total shock if we finish above them next year.

Disclaimer: I tipped West Coast for the spoon this year.

 

[Arr0w]

Given how I rate the depth of the draft next year (no where near this year's kids), gaining Stocker is a massive get, as he would have been easily top 6 next year

If we are within 6 picks of the Crows, it is a huge win. Break even would be 10 picks differential

 

[Blue and Blue]

A bloke goes to work and misses all the fun....have we done good?

 

[Crow till I die]

so in summary our trading with you guys this year goes

Adelaide
in: McAdam, Pick 13 (made up of 2 x 2nd round picks) & Carlton 2019 1st (we hope it is atop 2-4 pick)
Out: McGovern, Pick 19 & 2019 1st (we hope it is between pick 15-18)

If you guys rise up the ladder and you may with all your in's and we don't hit the ground running, then you win the trade period with us clearly as it might be a pick 6-7 for pick 10-12 + pick 19). If as we hope you guys finish bottom 2-4 and we have a great year with our draw and less injuries etc, then that 2019 pick swap will be big for us and I think we win the trade, but all in all, it looks to be almost a break even
